Follow this straightforward method to make perfect oven roasted potato wedges that achieve a crispy exterior and a fluffy interior every time. This is a reliable recipe for homemade wedges from scratch.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large Russet potatoes
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit (220 degrees Celsius). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Wash the potatoes well. You do not need to peel them for this recipe.
  3. Cut each potato lengthwise into eight equal wedges. Aim for uniform size for even cooking.
  4. Place the potato wedges in a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and toss to coat evenly.
  5. In a small bowl, mix together the salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and oregano. This is the best seasoning for potato wedges.
  6. Sprinkle the seasoning mix over the oiled wedges and toss again until all wedges are coated.
  7. Arrange the seasoned wedges on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Do not overcrowd the pan; use two sheets if necessary. This step is key for crispy potato wedges recipe results.
  8. Bake for 20 minutes.
  9. Flip the wedges using a spatula.
  10. Return the pan to the oven and bake for another 15 to 20 minutes, or until the wedges are golden brown and crisp.
  11. Remove from the oven and serve immediately, perhaps with a simple homemade potato wedges dipping sauce.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, soak the cut potato wedges in cold water for 30 minutes before drying them completely. Patting them very dry before oiling makes a difference.
  • If you prefer an air fryer potato wedges method, cook at 380 degrees Fahrenheit for 15-18 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through.
  • To make steakhouse style potato wedges, increase the baking time slightly and use coarse salt.
